The robot arm and the drive mapped by the VTL server can be discovered on both the Windows operating system and the NetBackup software, but the robot arm and the drive are not associated. As shown in Figure 1, Robot 0 and the drive for IBM ULTRIUM-TD3 are not associated. As a result, the drive is identified as Standalone Drivers. The symptom is:

1. On Windows, right-click My Computer and choose Management from the shortcut menu.

2. In the navigation tree of Computer Management, choose System Tools > Device Management. An ! icon or the Unknown text is displayed in front of the icon of the robot arm.
